flag Federal workers begin receiving backpay for the record 43-day shutdown, ending Nov. 1.

flag Federal employees affected by the 43-day government shutdown, the longest in U.S. history, are set to begin receiving backpay starting November 15, with payments distributed on varying dates through November 19 based on agency and payroll provider. flag The Office of Management and Budget confirmed the rollout of "superchecks" covering pay from October 1 to November 1, including overtime and other adjustments. flag The shutdown ended when President Donald Trump signed a funding bill, restoring furloughed workers to their jobs and requiring agencies to reverse layoffs. flag The crisis disrupted services, increased demand at food banks, and deepened political divisions, with Trump blaming Democrats and urging voters to hold them accountable.
